The electronic forum deals with the topics related to analog and digital circuits and systems (i.e. ASIC, FPGA, DSPs, Microcontroller, Single/Multi Processors etc) and their programming such as HDL, C/C++, etc.

AMMC: Advanced Multi-core Memory ControllerAuthors: Tassadaq Hussain, Oscar Palomar, Adriyn Cristal, Osman Unsal, Eduard Ayguady, Mateo Valero, Shakaib A.

Traditional SRAM-based FPGAs, however, are highly sensitive to the ionizing radiation environment in space, making them prone to radiation-induced memory upsets. In this paper, we evaluate and compare scrubbing techniques for Xilinx SRAM-based FPGAs with respect to radiation-induced single event upsets. A test framework using an exchangeable payload is developed for this purpose and run on a Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA. We show that recent SRAM-based FPGAs can constitute a cost-efficient alternative to radiation-hardened or antifuse FPGAs for non-critical space application such as satellite instruments.
